www.frys.com) does have quite a few "brick & Mortar" stores on the west coast, in the southwest, and in a few other states. Their parts departments usually have a much larger and broader inventory than Radio Shack.

Yes, Fry's carries a pretty complete inventory of NTE passive and silicon components. They are migrating eastward--see below. Radio Shack is in no way a full range supplier... but I am glad to access to their admittedly weak inventory in most every city in the US. I am barely old enough to remember Allied's retail stores and going to Olsen's as a boy was always a treat--grab bags of resistors, Russkit slot cars, you name it.
